    Default Do You Hang Out In The Arcade?

    Do you like going to the arcades? I for one, love it! The blasting sounds surrounds my ears! Actually, I like fighting games there, and rarely go for the prizes, unless theres a girl whose playing with me...oh, never mind.

    I go sometimes, but the arcades I've seen around here aren't exactly the greatest. I like going to Playdium in Edmonton, though; that place ****ing rules.

    Yeah, DDR is fun. They have a section devoted to DDR in the Edmonton Playdium. Or rather, they did last time I was there... haven't been in a while. Couple spring-breaks ago, when I was visiting Spencer.

    I usually go for the shooting games, like House of the Dead.

    i used to live in the arcades in mid 90's but now i didnt go there for about 5 years, maybe its because they closed down all the arcades near my area.

    Actually, you guys have MGL there, don't you? That arcade is the bomb. It's a haven for fans of DDR as well as other Bemani games.

    I go some times on the weekends. Theres this 1 where u wear gloves and box against a computerized Bot. U swing ur hand but stop swinging before ur hand smacks the screen... Any way. My friend was boxing on it really softly. Then 2 girls were behind us. Then he started to show off and go hardout. lol next thing you know the glove comes off and hits the man at the counter. hehe that was so funny.

    Oh man, I wish I could have seen that.

    I rarely go to the arcade. I am always broke and the arcades around here aren't that great. If I go to the mall I'll usually stop at the arcade and see what's new. We used to have a nickel arcade and that was cool. The price for a games ranged from 5-30 cents depending on the game and never went above that. There was another arcade I went to where there was a special once a week where you paid a few bucks to stay there and play everything with unlimited credits for free for a few hours. That one also died. After those two arcades, I just can't bring myself to pay 50 cents to a dollar to play a game. I basically lived at arcades until it bacame almost impossible to find a good game to play for 25 cents.

    Well, here in Sweden, everyone believes that an arcade is the same thing as a 'gambling club'. So they are more or less under threat of extermination...

    All the arcades in my area are pretty rubbish, lacking in the latest games and full of shitty slot machines. I do, hoever, really enjoy playing Sega Rally 2 and I dare someone to try and beat me on the Desert stage - I am the daddy on that track. So nur.
    Touch my twat.
